Statuary Displayed at Wilcox Museum
The A. M. Wileox Museum is displaying casts and busts of Greek gods, along with other Greek and Roman sculpture, coins, and vases on the second floor of Fraser Hall.
Mary Grant, associate professor of Latin and Greek, curator of the museum, said:
"Some items in the Wilcox Museum display date back to the fifth century B.C."
There is a statute of the god Hermes, masquerading as the young Germanicus, included in
the display. The tortoise by his foot seems to identify this figure as Hermes, who made the first lyre from a tortoise shell.
Another statue is a marble one of Venus, found at Capua, Italy, posed with her left foot propped on the helmet of her lover, the war-god Ares. The statue shows her admiring her beauty in his shield, which she holds upon her raised knee.
Prof. Grant said:
"This Venus of Melos gives the impression of serenity and sim-
pliciity. The pose is complex because of the lines showing the twists and turns of her body. Because of this, Venus of Melos must be considered a masterpiece of the late period in Greek art."
"The busts of famous Greek and Roman personages on either side of the museum show the contrast of idealism and realism in Greek and Roman portrait sculpture. The cast of the head of the Greek Pericles shows generalized features and blank eyes.
The head of Hadrian, a reproduction of Roman sculpture, shows individual characteristics well expressed, for even the direction of the gaze of the eyes is ordered and copied," she explained.
Vases and Figurines
The museum also features vases and figurines that are genuine vase antiquities dating to the fifth and sixth centuries A.D.
"One Greek vase is an example of Corinthian ware with bands of animals painted horizontally across it. It came from the sixth century B.C." Prof. Grant said.
120 Different Coins
Mentioning the museum's coin collection, Miss Grant said there are about 120 different ancient coins. Five more coins were purchased for the museum this summer.
"The KU Board of Regents allows the Wilcox Museum $50 a year. Last year's money was used for new draperies.
Personal gifts and funds from the Endowment Association have helped some in the past to build up the collection.
They Correspond, But Never Write
DALLAS, Tex.  (UPI)—Members of an organization here are carrying on an international correspondence without writing a word. They use tape instead of stationery.
Reels of magnetic tape bearing recorded words are mailed regularly back and forth among 4,000 members of the group in 60 countries.
Many physicians use the tape service to exchange medical information. Proceedings of scientific and professional meetings often are
taped and dispatched half-way around the world.
"The uses of tape in this manner are unlimited," says Harry Sussman, manufacturer of magnetic tape equipment. (Telectro Industries Corp.) "Recordings of meetings can be distributed to members unable to attend. College lecture courses can be made available to anyone anywhere, and perhaps more important, they can be preserved in libraries for students of the future."

"APPLE OF THE EYE"
For this overworked phrase, we must turn to the world's richest source of quotations—the Bible. Specifically, the Old Testament, Deuteronomy, XXXII, 10:
"He kept him as the apple of his eye."
"ALL IS NOT GOLD"
Seems like everybody had a crack at this piece of homely philosophy, but the originator seems to be Geoffrey Chaucer, in "The House of Fame", Book I: "Hyt is not all gold that glareth"
"COUNT 10..." Was there any limit to the talents of Thomas Jefferson? Statesman, scientist, architect—he also authored this admonition:
"When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, a hundred."
The most respected, creative name in underwear is Jockey brand. It stands to reason, then, that Jockey brand T-shirts are unmatched for quality as well as styling. You can choose from standard crew neck T-shirt, "taper-tee" shirt, sleeveless I-shirt, and V-neck T-shirt models. Every man needs a drawer full of T-shirts—and the label to look for is Jockey brand. Let it guide you to the world's finest underwear.
All filter cigarettes are divided into two parts, and...
"Weni, widi, Winston!" Thus did Caesar (a notoriously poor speller) hail the discovery of Filter-Blend-light,mild tobaccos specially selected and specially processed for filter smoking.
He knew that a pure white filter alone is not enough. To be a complete filter cigarette, it must have Filter-Blend up front. And only Winston's got it!
That's why Caesar would never accept another brand even when it was offered gratis. In fact, history
tells us he'd glower at the extended pack and sneer, "Et tu, Brute?"
In a stirring peroration to his legions, Caesar put it this way:
"For the Numeral I filter cigarette—for the best-tasting filter cigarette—for the noblest filter cigarette of all—smoke Winston!"
"Winston tastes good like a cigarette should!"
P. S. to bachelors. If you're lucky enough to find a gal who'll keep you in Winstons, Caesar!
